Lyrics:
i was starting to spin out
at how the seasons don’t last
why i’m dreaming of somewhere
long past
light flash
then all the colours drained fast
now i’m getting sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
gets so heavy when i think of you
when we’re apart
it’s when i start
glowing in the dark

on my telephone
i just long to know
what’s the future like
is there time enough?

(future lover)

i’m not trying to creep you out
seen a fair amount of misty-eyed actors
and split-screens have always raised my suspicions
are you listening?
for sweet nothings from a ghost in the room?
gets so heavy when i think of you
i lie awake
always the way
it’s always a trap
the insomniac buzzing at the back

on my telephone (future lover)
i just long to know (left to wonder)
what’s the future like? (wait another year)
is there time enough (left to bother?)
future lover

i lie awake
always the way
it’s always a trap
the insomniac buzzing at the back
(sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
gets so heavy when i think of you)

i lie awake
always the way
it’s always a trap
the insomniac buzzing at the back

(sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
gets so heavy when i think of you)

on my telephone (future lover)
i just long to know (left to wonder)
what’s the future like? (wait another year)
is there time enough?

sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
gets so heavy when i think of you...

I do have to say. This album feels more-spring like. And less dark.
I feel the shift in their music

Knowing their quality in live performances, I can't wait to hear a live performance of this song either in a concert or on KEXP

It really is as though every single time an album is released by daughter it echoes every single heartbreak and current thought I’ve had in recent time. I’m truly lucky to be here. I love you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. As always, your songs are stellar, stunning and captivate me still.

The song "Future Lover" seems to be about the singer's longing for a connection with someone who is not currently present in their life. The first verse describes a feeling of being stuck in the present moment, dreaming of a past that is no longer accessible. The chorus, with its repeated questions about the future, suggests a desire to move forward and connect with this future lover, even if only through their imagination or dreams.

The second verse acknowledges the potential creepiness of this desire to connect with someone who may not even exist yet, but ultimately dismisses those concerns as irrelevant. The insomniac reference in the verse highlights the difficulty of letting go of this desire and the way it can consume one's thoughts and feelings.

Overall, the song captures the bittersweet feeling of yearning for someone or something that may never come to fruition, and the emotional weight that can come with such longing.

You can almost hear her chuckle at 3:57 😊

When the guitar kicks in at 02:50 the last seconds of Serial Experiments Lain opening came instantly to my mind. Both songs share an unique fresh and nostalgic sound.

This the best track on the album imo - Kind of reminds me of 'Dream Brother' on Jeff Buckley's Grace. A hidden gem toward the end of the album that just keeps on giving - Hopefully this song makes an appearance in the live set!

Because I've been addicted to the songs, I keep replying them over and over. Then here is this one! To be added to the rest. It's so groovy. I love this album.

Listened to the album on headphones last night before falling asleep - sounded ethereal - already bought the limited green vinyl and now I want to be that future lover - before everything is put in a landfill…. X

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Elena Tonra]
I was starting to spin out
At how the seasons don't last
Why I'm dreaming of somewhere long past
Light flash, and all the colours drained fast
Now, I'm getting sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Get so heavy when I think of you
When we're apart, it's when I start
Glowing in the dark

[Chorus 1: Elena Tonra]
On my telephone
I just long to know
What's the future like?
Is there time enough?
[Post-Chorus: Igor Haefeli]
(Future lover)

[Verse 2]
I'm not trying to creep you out
Seen a fair amount of misty-eyed actors
And split-screens have always raised my suspicions
Are you listening for sweet nothings from a ghost in the room?
Get so heavy when I think of you
I lie awake, always thе way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back

[Chorus 2: Elena Tonra & Igor Haefeli]
On my telеphone (Future lover)
I just long to know (Left to wonder)
What's the future like? (Wait another year)
Is there time enough? (Left to bother)

[Post-Chorus: Igor Haefeli]
(Future lover)

[Bridge: Elena Tonra]
I lie awake, always the way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back
(Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room)
(Get so heavy when I think of you)
I lie awake, always the way
It's always a trap, the insomniac
Buzzing at the back
(Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room)
(Get so heavy when I think of you)
[Chorus 3: Elena Tonra & Igor Haefeli]
On my telephone (Future lover)
I just long to know (Left to wonder)
What's the future like? (Wait another year)
Is there time enough?

[Outro: Elena Tonra]
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Get so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Get so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Get so heavy when I think of you
Sweet nothings from a ghost in the room
Get so heavy when I think of you

This song wraps me with contentment and depression. There's a guy I started liking a few months ago. We take the same bus and I gave him my number, but he never contacted me. I still like him (but pretend that I don't when I c him) bcs that's how human emotions work--u cant just turn them off. Sometimes I find myself visioning a relationship with him, the trips and plans we'd make. I'm slowly accepting I'll never have him: that when I change jobs and stop taking that bus, that's when I'm really going to feel the weight of his absence, of a guy that I a never had but wish I did.
